This may actually give hope that SAC hold onto Cousins. If suddenly LAC, a high seed in the West, starts to slip in the standings, it may give hope Vlade and may cause them to hold onto Cousins until at least the summer. Then its 50/50 on whether he gets traded or stays for the long run.
Which may mean, it will be a completely crazy May for the draft lottery, June for the draft and July for trades.
